Since Tuesday night’s defeat against the Seattle Kraken, many are calling for the recall of young Alex Barré-Boulet from the Laval Rocket.

In fact, some would rather Kent Hughes recall Joshua Roy..

But in any case, numerous experts and fans believe it’s time to give a talented forward currently dominating the American Hockey League a new chance.

A recall on the way from Kent Hughes?

Considering that Kent Hughes assigned defenseman Logan Mailloux to the Laval Rocket in the past few hours..

The question now arises as to whether a forward might make the reverse journey, as the team prepares to fly to Washington to face Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals tomorrow night.

In any case, there’s now an available «spot» in the 23-player lineup.

On that note, we may have just received an interesting clue, as, for a rare time today, Laval Rocket head coach Pascal Vincent did not want to reveal his lineup for tonight’s game.

By his own admission, he seems to be waiting to see if Kent Hughes will make a personnel move.

With the Rocket playing later in the evening, Pascal Vincent will take a bit more time before sharing his lineup. The Canadiens are leaving for Washington in the next few hours. If there’s a call-up (or a demotion) to be made, that’s when it will happen.

According to some, this could be a hint.

Yes, Logan Mailloux was sent down to Laval, but the Rocket has already announced that the defenseman will not be in action tonight because he was just reassigned.

Therefore, this reassignment has no impact on Pascal Vincent’s lineup.

It’s a story to follow over the next few hours.

And if it were your decision, would you recall a forward like Alex Barré-Boulet or Joshua Roy? Would you even go as far as recalling both?

Barre-Boulet, by the way, has already tallied 8 points in 4 games with the Laval Rocket this season, proving he’s clearly too strong for the American Hockey League.
